The development of a smart chatbot can bring a competitive advantage in the banking domain thanks to the numerous benefits of this digital solution. Our company has created a high-quality chatbot for one of the leading banks in Kazakhstan, that up to now helped to bring impressive business results.
Information about Our Client
Our customer is one of the leading commercial banks in Kazakhstan in terms of deposits and assets. The main focus of the bank is corporate and retail banking. The key corporate banking activities are mainly oriented toward small and medium-sized businesses. The main retail banking products and activities are credit and debit card issuing, deposit-taking, and retail landing. Additionally, the bank is also an active participant of the foreign currency market and fixed income security market in Kazakhstan.
The Situation in the Market and Business Challenge
Overall, digital and conversational banking is not very well-developed in Kazakhstan, compared to the rest of the world. Still, these services have the great potential to provide a competitive advantage to those financial institutions that implement them. No wonder that according to statistics, the global chatbot market value will grow to $102.29 billion by 2026. Besides, by 2023 chatbots are expected to save $1.2 billion and 862 million hours globally. Our client wished to follow the chatbot trend and to use its extensive potential. Thus, we were requested to develop a smart chatbot that could help to digitalize the service of card issuing for the customers.
